RUssIAS TACTICS AGAINST FERDINAND

RUSSIA'S TACTICS AGAINST FERDINAND.
Prince Ferdinand did not take leap in the
dark when he accepted the Bulgarian crown.
He waited long enough TO convince himself
that Russia was unprepared for military in
teryention, and then crossed the Danube.
Very little discernment was required for reach
ing this conclusion. Prince Bismarcks recent
disclosures of the diplomacy of the war OF
1877 have proved that the Russian army did
not receive marching orders until Austrian
neutrality had been guaranteed in secret
compact. The necessity for similar under
standing between st. Petersburg and Vienna
Is more urgent now than it was then, since
Austria has become a Balkan Power. A new
invasion of Bulgaria cannot be expected unless
Austrian neutrality has been formally guaran-
teed and there are valid reasons for assum-
ing that this has not been done Such a
guarantee would involve larger terms of COM
pcnsation than the acquisition of Bosnia and
the Herzegovina it would have to embody a
scheme for the partition of European Turkey
and while it is highly probable that such a
compact will ultimately lead to the settlement
Of the Eastern Question it Is scarcely credible
that secret dynastic understanding can be
reached at present Russia is. therefore, I'M
prepared for campaign in Bulgaria, and apart
from the chances Of intrigue and assassination
Prince Ferdinand did not take great personal
risks when he accepted the crown.
The campaign which Russia has entered
into against Prince Ferdinand is diplomatic
one, with ConstantinOple as its centre. The
Sultan, under the terms Of the Treaty of Ber-
lin, can veto the election Of the Prince. If
be neglccts to exercise his prerogative Russia
itself can withhold its consent, as in its cir
cldar to the Powers it threatens to do. His
title will then be invalidated by the treaty
law of Europe 1t is almost certain that
France will support the Cars action, as it is
also probable that Austria and Germany will
adopt similar course But Russia will nat
urally prefer to have the Porte veto the action
Of the Bulgarian Assembly, and in order to
effect its purpose 1t will not hesitate to have
recourse TO threats. There are large unsettled
indemnity claims incurred at the close Of tho
war Of 1877 which can be brought forward
by Russia, and the occupation of Erzerum
pnd Trebizonde in Turkish Armenia can be
made a direct menace. Russia is always pre-

there is the best Of reasons for emphasizing
the necessity of the utmost care in preparing
prescriptions. The druggist who was before
a Coroner's jury yesterday got off too lightly.
In FASTING label on bottle he left the direc-

but not altogether satisfactorily.

\ large number of stage lines radiate

from Skowhegan to the Forks, fifty miles.
Irving Young, who drives it is the best whip
in Maine
Young used to be a river-driver. He is
six feet three inches high, about fifty years
old, rough, weathcr-beaten fellow with
sledge-hannler fist and a soft heart. He is
noted for his wonderful aim with a whip
lash and for his happy way of managing the
loads of half-drunken log-drivers that he
sometimes carries in the spring and fall.
You would as soon think of u Texas cow
boy distributing tracts as Of this tough
stager adopting a moral code for his paSsen-
gers; but he has one, nevertheless, and suf-
fers no violations of it. He forbidS all pro-
fame and indecent language on his stage, and
the river-drivers have to mind the rule
when they are aboard. "rd Just as lief my

but his reputation is now SO well established
that ne seldom has any trouble.
An incident that occurred a few years ago
illustrates his control over brawlers. A
crew of them rode with him and became too
noisy. When he demonstrated they grew
saucy and seemed indiSposed to mind him.

jumped down from the box.

This was all the fellows said in answer TO
his challenge. Hegathered up the reins and

CUT HER THROAT.
SUICIDE OF A WOMAN AT WEST lib
ERTY,
At an Early Hour Yesterday Morning :
Details Of the Horrible
Affair.

The driver of the West Liberty hack, on
coming into the city yesterday on his reg
ular trip, brought news Of the suicide OF
Mrs. Homer Briggs, which occurred at the
residence of the family at West Liberty
about I o'clock in the morning. The only
known cause which could induce the act is
the fact, stated by persons familiar with
the family, that Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs had
mutually agreed to separate a week or two
ago.
Mrs. Briggs is reported TO have eaten
her breakfast, and then repaired to heI
bed room, wien she drew knife or razor
across her throat, making a cash which
extended for four or five inches, severins
the great arteries and causing death in 3
few moments. The suicide was about
forty years of age, and leaves one child, g
grown daughter. She had been married
twice, her first husband being Mr.. Hawley,
of Wellsburg, at one time police officer
in that town. Mr.. Briggs, her second hus
band, is descended from an old and we'll
known family, his great-grandfather beins
General Briggs, famous commander and
Indian fighter in the early days. The
General was large land owner In the
northern portion OF Ohio county, and hi:
descendants have lived in the neighbor.
hood for hundred years.
Coroner Schultze did not hear Of the
suicide until about o'clock last evening
and could not, at that hour, 90 out to hold
an inquest. One is scarcely necessary in
view OF the facts in the case. The sad
event Occasioned as a matter of course, g
great deal of excitement in West Liberty
and vicinity during the morning.
